If someone has very little income but savings put away for retirement / college education, would someone be eligible for healthcare assistance?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
When you say healthcare assistance, I assume you are asking about health insurance, more specifically the AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT, also known as OBAMA CARE. If this is not your question, you should resubmit the question and be more specific about what kind of assistance you seek, when you say healthcare assistance You did not say what state you live in. Some states have their own system. Most states are part of the national market place. Go on line and sign up. www.healthcare.gov You will be surprised at the affordability of the coverage. It is based only on income, not on assets. They do not even ask about your assets, just your income. Depending on your estimated 2014 income, it could be free for the "Bronze coverage" which has a $5000 out of pocket cost. Or, you could go for better coverage. The "Platinum level" has an annual out of pocket cost of only $1000. Yes, you pay the out of pocket cost yourself. Do not listen to the garbage in the press about how evil this is. I did it my self, and got great insurance at a very affordable cost. Later this year, it will be illegal not to have insurance, and you will pay an added tax for not signing up.... Read More

How can a bookkeeper control my paycheck and how much she will pay me?

She can do it because she controls the checkbook. Her systems are set up to take the money out of the first two checks a month, not the first and third. As long as you don't get underpaid, you really don't have a legitimate gripe.
